Course content
The aim of the discipline is to develop students' knowledge of the origin and variability of the German language, their ability to understand the causes of major historical changes during the formation of the German language, and to identify the key factors that distinguish it from other Germanic languages. The discipline consists of nine content modules and includes one module assessment during the semester and a final course test. The course material provides an understanding of the main historical changes at the phonological, morphological, syntactic, and semantic levels, and it offers insights into the influence of historical and sociocultural factors on the development of modern German as a coherent structure. It ensures an adequate level of theoretical preparation for further German language acquisition and conducting linguistic research within coursework, diploma, and master's projects. Additionally, it develops skills in working with theoretical and lexicographic sources.
